I wished to dedicate this blog to all sentient beings. At the same time, it is my intention to share my humble knowledge of the Buddha Dharmma with all. Upon reading these articles, may all sentient beings acquire some spiritual wisdom. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Yours in the Dharmma, White Lotus

Amitabha Buddha


Amitabha Buddha is sometimes known as the Buddha of Infinite Life or The Buddha of Infinite Light. Admired all over the East of Asia, followers pray and devote themselves to Him to be reborn from a lotus in his Pure Land (Sukhavati)

In the sutras, it is written that Amitabha Buddha made 12 great vows to help and benefit all sentient beings. He functions as the Buddha of increase in all benefical to our lives.

He also grants us an lots of worldly necessities like good health,good family, good living conditions and helpful friends. Amitabha Buddha also helps us to discard the darkness of ignorance and to developed attainment and compassion.

In Tibetan Buddhism, it is normal for Dhamma students to offer the statue of Amitabha Buddha to their Lamas or gurus, as a request for them to live long and continue to spread Buddhism.
